Will My Insurance Cover My Covid-19 Visit?

Please be advised that medical insurance requires a medical issue or symptom. If using medical insurance, the rates for your office visit are determined by your copay/insurance, not our facility. Please call your insurance directly if you have questions about your coverage and financial responsibility, as their COVID-19 Testing policies may have changed. Some medical insurance will not pay for rapid COVID-19 testing without any medical issues or symptoms. Some AFC Urgent Care Centers have self-pay COVID-19 Rapid Tests available.
